“When you hear about the tough phone calls I’m having, don’t worry about it. Just don’t worry about it. They’re tough. We have to be tough. It’s time we’re going to be a little tough, folks. We’re taken advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It’s not going to happen any more. It’s not going to happen any more.”

As reported by The Washington Post, senior US officials briefed on the conversation said Mr Trump hung up after 25 minutes and said: “This was the worst call by far” and that the immigrant agreement was “the worst deal ever”.

He also reportedly said to Mr Turnbull he was “going to get killed” politically and accused him of wanting to export the “next Boston bombers”.

I can't stop laughing reading all this. What a guy ! :laugh

[quote user=cadpig]It was a bad deal that Obama made during the last days of his presidency. Trump shouldn't have to honor that agreement.[/quote]

A deal's a deal. Australia does some stuff for it, America does some stuff for it. You don't back out of existing deals just because you're a new president. A country is a lot more than just its president. Unless you want to be known as an unreliable country. Trump is just in office, but he's already hard on his way to give America that reputation.

It's fucking crazy Trump would treat another head of state in such a disrespectful way.

No, it's not. First of all Trump isn't a paper tiger like Obama was. Obama made many of these crazy deals in the last term of his Presidency, knowing full damn well that Trump would have to refuse them. It's called sabotage in some parts.

He didn't "hang up on him". Just like he didn't tell the president of Mexico he was going to send U.S. Troops to fight the Mexican cartels. And these fucking news outlets wonder why people don't want to believe them?!?! H fucking Christ!!

Yeah, only if it were even remotely fucking true. Besides that though, what does the U.S. "get for this"? Because it would seem to me, Australia is the only one who gets to dump refugees they, apparently, don't want to care for, on us. Why would you need to send these folks, literally half way around the world? They came to Australian shores after all......
